Notes
- Pick sweet mangoes – Try to use sweet ripe mangoes. If it’s sour, the taste won’t be good and may need more sugar.
- Melting – Agar agar powder or strands should be boiled well in water to get dissolved completely. Powder dissolves quickly so choose it if you can get it. Cook until the water looks clear. If you still see small pieces, cook for some more time.
- Keep stirring – Keep mixing while boiling the mixture with agar agar powder as it may get lumpy.
- Pour quickly – After adding mango mixture, mix it well and be quick. Strain it at once and pour it quickly into molds. It sets fast, so don’t wait too long.
- Chill well – Keep it in fridge for minimum 1 hour. Though this jelly sets well in room temperature itself, cold jelly tastes great.
